🧬 Overview
The Blastomussa wellsi “Inferno Rainbow” is a premium collector-grade LPS coral that combines exceptional fluorescence with a dramatic multi-colour palette rarely seen in a single colony.
Each fleshy polyp displays glowing emerald-green centres surrounded by deep ruby-red tissue and accented with vibrant orange-gold nodules. Between the ridges, subtle electric blue tones create additional contrast, producing an intense rainbow appearance under reef lighting.
As the colony expands, the colours become increasingly vibrant, transforming the coral into a living centrepiece that immediately attracts attention from anywhere in the aquarium.
Highly prized for both its beauty and relatively forgiving nature, Blastomussa wellsi remains one of the most desirable large-polyp stony corals for hobbyists seeking premium colour without demanding care requirements.
Selected for:
• Exceptional rainbow colour contrast
• Ultra-bright fluorescent green centres
• Fiery orange-gold highlights
• Thick, fleshy polyp structure
• Collector-grade WYSIWYG specimen
🍽️ Care & Feeding
Blastomussa benefit from both photosynthesis and supplemental feeding.
Recommended feeding:
• Mysis shrimp
• Artemia
• Finely chopped marine foods
• LPS pellets
Occasional target feeding can significantly enhance growth, tissue expansion, and colour intensity.
📈 Optimal Parameters
Parameter | Ideal Range
Alkalinity (dKH) | 7.5–8.5
Calcium (Ca) | 420–450 ppm
Magnesium (Mg) | 1300–1400 ppm
Nitrate (NO₃) | 5–15 ppm
Phosphate (PO₄) | 0.03–0.10 ppm
📍 Placement
Position in a low to moderate flow area where the fleshy polyps can fully inflate without direct turbulence. Blastomussa generally prefer stable conditions and moderate lighting, making them ideal for lower reef zones and LPS-dominated aquascapes.
